The Gift from the Heavens 20

"Ra, I'm done washing. Shall we head to the ruins?"

Oshi returned to the tent with the washed stone pot and spoon, but neither of them was there. She only saw a line of text left on the sand.

[Oshi and I went to the ruins first. You should rest at the camp this morning and think about what to eat for lunch—Ra].

The handwriting was clear and the strokes were neat and elegant. It must have been left by a generous and beautiful person.

"Splat!" The stone pot fell to the ground, and the spoon inside bounced out.

"Quack! Ra, don't leave me behind QAQ!"

After reading the message and understanding that she had been left behind alone, Oshi found it difficult to accept for a moment.

We threw an awesome party, guess who wasn't invited.jpg

"It must have been Obe who instigated this, that inherently evil blue-haired brat! Damn it! Ra~ My Ra~ Woo woo woo woo woo~"

Unwilling to accept the reality, Oshi, while no one was around, began to pace, run, and roll on the beach without any regard for her image...

a few moment later……

After a series of undignified actions in public, Oshi finally accepted the reality of being abandoned and lay on the beach like a salted fish, staring blankly at the sky.

"Stare~~~~ Hmm? What is that. A bird?"

Oshi, with her dead-fish eyes, suddenly saw a blurry figure moving in the clouds. Although she couldn't see it clearly due to the clouds, the way it swayed clearly indicated it was a living creature.

Seeing this, she immediately perked up and stood up with a splash like a carp.

"Hehe~ It looks like I have a lead for lunch today. Watch me make a pot of 'Stewed Wild Bird with Mushrooms,' which will definitely put that short blue-haired brat to shame.

How dare you instigate Ra to leave me here. At noon, you'll be gnawing on my leftover bird butt~"

Wiping the corner of her mouth, Oshi aimed at the dark shadow. When the target came directly above the island, she unleashed a full-power Thunder Cannon at it.

She wasn't worried about blowing the target to smithereens. After all, the figure looked quite large, and Oshi's current strength was nowhere near Ra's.

"So, at most, I'll just make a hole in you. You can't possibly escape, can you..." Oshi thought as she watched the swaying figure in the sky.

After searching the sky for a long time, Kaido finally locked onto an island below. But just as he was about to land, he sensed a golden lightning bolt breaking through the clouds and heading straight for him.

"Uro ro ro~ Interesting!"

Kaido chose not to dodge. He allowed the lightning bolt to strike his body, then dispersed the Flame Cloud and plummeted downwards.

BOOM!!!

The sound of a giant object landing echoed, flattening a large number of trees, caving in the earth, and sending dust billowing tens of meters into the sky.

Kaido's massive dragon body falling from the clouds made the small island tremble as if it were experiencing an earthquake. The huge shockwave instantly spread, causing many of the island's animals to foam at the mouth and pass out.

"Gulp~ It seems I've brought down something extraordinary. I've caused trouble this time."

Oshi, who was cowering with her head in her hands, was also startled by the shocking scene. The size, far exceeding her expectations, left her momentarily flustered.

Knowing that she might have caused trouble, Oshi dared not move for a while and remained squatting in place. However, after waiting for a long time, the object still showed no signs of movement.

[My attack shouldn't have done much damage to something this large. Did I hit its head? Could it have died from the fall...]

Just as she was mustering the courage to go and see what she had knocked down, a familiar voice reached her ears.

The voice, which usually sounded ethereal and pleasant, now carried an even more immersive sense of reassurance.

"Oshi, are you alright?" Ra had returned at her fastest speed.

"I'm fine, Ra. Um, I think I accidentally knocked down something strange."

Seeing Ra, Oshi felt as if she had found her anchor.

"Hmph↓ You, you're always causing trouble for me," Obe, who arrived shortly after, criticized her without mercy.

"I was just thinking of adding a bonus meal for you guys at noon... Besides, you two left me here without a word, and I was bored too~" Oshi retorted guiltily.

"Alright, let's go take a look. I can sense that the dragon is still alive," Ra said, leading the two towards the dragon's crash site.

"Huh? Is it really a dragon? I thought I was mistaken.

By the way, there are dragons in this world~ And judging by its shape, it looks like an Eastern dragon. Could this be some kind of fantasy cultivation world?" Oshi's curiosity was piqued again.

"If it were truly a fantasy world, this dragon wouldn't have been brought down so easily by you.

In such worlds, getting involved with dragons is never simple," Obe poured cold water on her enthusiasm at the opportune moment.

"Yeah~ And this dragon looks a bit strange too.

Hmm... How should I put it, it looks a bit human-like. And these horns are wrong. I remember a pair facing forward..."

Oshi began to comment on Kaido, who was lying in the distance.

"You'd better pray that dragon isn't someone transformed, or we'll be in trouble."

"Alright, we're here, just ahead. Everyone be careful," Ra reminded them.

As they spoke, the three arrived about ten steps away from the dragon's head.

"Wow, it's really big up close~"

Oshi took a few steps forward to the dragon's head and gestured, realizing her small body was only as big as one of its teeth.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say it was still alive, Ra? Why is it so still, lying there like a dead fish."

"Oshi, be careful, don't get too close!" Ra pulled Oshi, who was about to poke it, behind her and warned.

It had to be said that Ra's caution was correct. The moment she finished speaking, the giant dragon's body suddenly began to glow, and a powerful shockwave erupted, stirring up dust and smoke all around.

Seeing this, Ra immediately shielded the two little ones behind her, then used her divine power to condense a barrier in front of her, her gaze fixed on the center of the light.

A giant palm emerged from the dust and slammed down, causing the ground to shake once more.

Then, a massive humanoid figure stood up from the crater. The figure seemed to block out the sky, completely engulfing the three little ones.

"Damn it, my head hurts... but I'm not dead~"

The giant figure rubbed its head, then looked down at the three little ones and said:

"Hey! You three brats, you attacked me just now, right? You did a good job! Urororororo!"

The strange laughter made Oshi and Obe feel a little dizzy.

As the dust completely cleared, the humanoid creature gradually revealed its true form—a young man with a pair of curved horns on his head, wearing a sleeveless jacket, carrying a jet-black kanabō on his shoulder, and a crimson gourd hanging from his waist. His face was so striking it could make even the most fearsome adult cry...

The two little ones' mouths widened, and they looked at the two-story-tall monster in front of them in disbelief.

"It really is a person, and it's so tall!

Was that Dragon Language just now? It had such strong penetration!" Oshi said, releasing her hands from her ears.

"It shouldn't be. It sounded a bit like Japanese to me," Obe replied, shaking her head.

"That is Japanese. It seems highly likely that this is the world of some anime."

Seeing that the other party's appearance was clearly not that of a normal person, yet he spoke fluent Japanese, Ra had a guess.

"You can understand Japanese, Ra?" Oshi asked, perhaps surprised.

"I can't, I'm just cross-referencing with lines from Japanese dramas I've watched before to translate, and I can vaguely sense the emotions of other beings."

That's right, Ra was now using the super-strong memory of this body, with a vocabulary compiled from a series of Japanese works she had seen before, translating the other party's words in real-time like she was holding an electronic dictionary.

"But it's a bit troublesome now. He seems to be asking if it was us who attacked him."

Sensing the meaning of the dangerous creature before her, Ra awkwardly replied in Japanese with words of apology:

"It was us, we, are deeply sorry, for this."

Kaido looked at Ra, who was speaking her broken apology, and frowned, impatiently interrupting:

"Since you admit you attacked me, then I'll give you three choices—either join me, or defeat me, or... die here!"

Kaido swung his kanabō, smashing a huge crack beside him.

Facing three little lolis who could barely speak, the strong man who dominated the seas chose to pick a fight, using the standard industry tactics of intimidation and coercion mixed with temptation.

This world is really not gentle at all~

PS: Kaido was only 27 years old in 1491. At this time, he was actually still a handsome young man with quite a good demeanor. A few years later, before invading Wano Country, Teacher Kai's appearance was at its peak, making him a charming and handsome middle-aged man.
